    Guess the Packer Hall of Famer

    I just (and I mean like 30 minutes ago) found out while doing some genealogy research that I have a 3rd cousin once removed that is a member of the Packers Hall of Fame.

    First clue:

    He was an all american for two straight years for the University of Minnesota.

        Nope, good player Gale was though.

        This guy was also a Navy lieutenant on a PT boat in WWII.

            No question whatsoever he's a blood relative....however, for some reason I bleed purple and always will.

              Hmmm. He haunts Packerrats. He finds out he's related to a Packer hall of famer.

              Come to the dark side, Ras. We await.

                    I always knew you were some sort of Dick.

                          Cool, but I think I will wait until I get home to check the guy out. Googling 'Wild Dick' is probably not the best idea at work.

                              Sadly, probably not. I could make alot of money.
